I think I agree with Volker.  This package is better suited as a lib* package. 
There are two conventions for libs to be multilib, one is to use foo-libs and
the other is to use libfoo and to put the binaries in libfoo-utils or
libfoo-examples or whatever is appropriate.  The decision on which to use, IMO,
is best decided by the usage of the package.  If the libs themselves are the
main goal and the primary use, then libfoo is to be preferred.  If the binaries
shipped are useful in their own right, and you are only separating the libs out
so that other binaries might benefit from them in addition to the binaries you
are shipping, then foo and foo-libs is preferred.

So, like I said, multilib is still possible.  The difference is that libfoo,
the base package, requires nothing, while libfoo-utils or libfoo-examples does
a Requires: libfoo = %{version}-%{release} and then you can install one or both
versions of the libs, and whichever version of the utils you want.
